I had a personal revelation with my TGUs today. For the longest time, I've been concentrating on making sure my wrist and arm were straight and perpendicular to my body. However, as the weight got heavier, I should have been concentrating on the center of mass (COM) of the bell itself. It's a subtle difference but I found that when I align the COM perpendicular to my body, I instantly felt no pain in my right wrist and felt like I could hold the weight forever.
I think it took my brain a long time to figure this out since during my 5x5 Stronglifts training with a barbell emphasize centering the bar as the COM is approximately dead center to the barbell.
This realization has probably been shared before, it may be in the S&S book (its been several months since I looked), and any SFG could have told be that if I had enough time/money to have a coaching session, but I guess it took months of practice to finally figure this out.
